What is the chance Lancaster will drop 1 or 2 grades, especially with numbers likely to be at a all time low

If, once Lancaster have confirmed the place of all their firm offer-holders who have met their offer grades (and insurance offer-holders who were not accepted by their firm, but have met their Lancaster offer), there are any places left on the course in question - then they will very likely make offers to their best "near miss" offer-holders. In order to fill the course, they may not have to confirm the place of all candidates who missed their offer by a single grade (and so may select the "best" of those). Similarly for those who missed their offer by two grades.
It's a numbers game, and nobody knows what those numbers will be until results day.
Also, what do you mean by "with numbers likely to be at a all time low"? Are you saying that applications are likely to be at an all time low for universities generally, for Lancaster specifically, for your particular course specifically, for your particular course at Lancaster specifically, or something else? Why are "numbers likely to be at a all time low"?

Due to Tories destroying the system or for international students, also what I have heard from head of Leeds administrations and from loads of other places. Also because I am doing a social science they are likely to let more in due to there being less equipment

Please see the answer I have given you on another thread where you have asked the same question.

From https://www.ucas.com/undergraduate-statistics-and-reports/ucas-undergraduate-releases/applicant-releases-2024-cycle/2024-cycle-applicant-figures-31-january-deadline, it appears that the number of international applications (EU and non-EU) was slightly up on last year - as of the January equal consideration deadline:

However, the number of UK applicants is slightly down on last year:

(I suspect that the number of UK applicants in 2022 was unusually high, due to people having deferred during Covid - but I haven't looked for any data to confirm that.)

Hi @LeoHockey123!
We do often have some flexibility with the grades that we accept when you receive your results, although this does depend on the course, and how many places we have available. Please feel free to contact [email protected] if you would like us to give you a more detailed idea of how likely it is that we will accept you on to your course with the grades you expect to achieve.
Good luck with your applications!
Rebecca (Lancaster Student Ambassador)
